APPLYING MANURE, ~
An Agricultural Duty Not Fully Understood
by Many Farmers.

An Agricultural Duty Not Fully Understood
by Many Farmers.
Il ought to be understood that fresh
manure is not available fertility, and
that if applied so as to come in contact
with the plants, and especially with
some varieties, it is positively injurious.
By this it must not be inferred that al!
manure must be well rotted before ap-
plying. As general rule, on the farm,
the safest plan to follow is to haul out
manure whenever there is time to do
the work and you" have the manure to
haul Generally there will be plenty of
places that need the manure and are in
a condition to receive the benefit.
As rule the work should be SO
planned that the manure can be applied
some time before the crop is sown or
planted, and good opportunity afford
ed to incorporate thoroughly with the
soil. If care is taken to mix well with
the soil so that only a small per cent.
would be liable to come in contact with
the plants, usually fresh manure will,
at least, do no great harm; but, if APP
piled just before a crop is planted it
will be of very little benefit to that crop,
because the plant food it contains is
not soluble and consequently is not
available. 49,
There is always more or less blowing

Under the act of last winter in regard
to Indian reservations. the department
is making preparations to have the res.
ervations properly surveyed and tracts
allotted to the Indians and they will be
permitted to take them up and acquire
title to them in severalty, and we un.
derstsud that in compliance with pro-
vision, agents will visit the Nez Perez
reservation this fall for the purpose, and
We have been indirectly informed that
the resident agent, at Lapwai, is favor
ably disposed to further the project and
to encourage the change. Citizens Of
this section should do all they can tt
further and encourage this move, as tn.
best policy TOR both Indians aud whites
and save further trouble with the In
dams. It is the policy we advocated
before the Nez Perez war and al
through our Indian troubles, as our tile
of the TELLER, Signal and Journal viii
fully show. Speed the day when landct
rights of both Indians and whites shall
be definitely adjusted and per,nanen
peace will surely follow.

had designed to completely surprise and
murder all the settlers on the Prairie
and would have so done had not the
alarm been given of what had been done
on Salmon river the evening before, and
gave the settlers opportunity to rally
together and fortify against attack. Al!
this had been done by Joseph and his
men. precipitatcly and stealthily, and
seventeen whites had deem inhumanely
murdered some twenty-four hours before
any news could be gotten to the CARR
sou at Lapwai or to the Agency wher'
Gen. Howard was stationed, and with
out the whites having fired a gun, be-
cause they had no weapons of defense,
and by Joseph and his band, whose
country was on the other side Of Salmon
river and the Snake about seventy FIVE
or one hundred miles away. These are
facts which have been repeatedly proved to
the public, and which, Outing the last
ten years, have never been successfully
denied or contradicted, and the Oregon
ian knows these facts, and why nov
that paper wants to vent his prejudice
against the settlers in falschoods like thu
following quotation we can not preceive
The dead cannot speak, but there ar
enough of the living to vindicate tn
truth Of what we say who we're personal

The Dayton Fire.

A disastrous fire took place on Friday
morning of last week at Dayton being
first discovered at fifteen minutes past
one o'clock, in the rear Of the Opera
House. 1t burned twenty-three build

places of business. Loss estimated from
$4,000 to $4,000, with about,
$50, 900 insurance. There seems to be
a doubt about the origin or cause Of the
fire. We take an account of the build
iugs burned, and losses from the Union

TREASoN'S APoTHEOSIS.

TREASON'S APOTHEOSIS.
Treason and armed rebellion may be
made odious in America, but not so long
as the arch enemy Of this great National
Union Is on top Of ground. The hOnOrs
paid to Jefferson Davis, whose treason
able iDtents against this union he has
never yet expressed the first symptom
Of regret for, is burning shame and
an everlasting disgrace to those who
render them. There was come man
hood, some honor, some sense Of fitness
come idea Of political consistency, when
the followers Of Jefferson Davis took
which he sought to establish as a rival
republic upon the ruins Of American
unity and nationality, with human
slavery as it's chief corner stone. That
attempt failed, and Jefferson Davis,
spared an ignOminiOus death by
the clemency Of the government
whose power he had de fed and
whose very existence he had
covenanted reasonably to destroy Is
now wOrshipped as the demiurge Of a
coDfederscy whose life meant the death
OF this nation. No more mOnstrous u9-
natural spectacle was ever presented TO
human consideration than this spectacle
OF the worship of Jefferson Davis rhis
glorying in that which was the everIa.t-
ing shame OF this nation; this revival Of
the glory Of a past which has NO mean
ing only as it threatened the life of This
nation; this dedication of the man who
Of all men living or dead was the sworn
enemy Of the peace and perpetulty OF
this nation; this strewing flowers upon
the pathway and shouting hOsannas to
the presence of this man, whose bloody
hand was stretched out for four years as
national assassin, and who only
dropped his paricidal arm VIII it was
stricken nerYeless to his side by the
armed defenders Of this nation; this tri-
umphal march OF this arch enemy of this
government Is the most deadly insult
that loyalty was ever called upon to
endure. Every honor paid to
this man is an open insult to the loyalty
Of the nation; every blessing upon his
head lie an audible curse that should
blister the tongue of him who prOnoun-
ces 1t. II these be the rewards of trea-
SOD; II unrepented revolution is to be so
hOnOred there is no meaning in loyalty,
no virtue In patriotism, no loyalty in
government, no respect for authority,
no honor in obedience to law, no pride
In natiOnal existence. The Chicago an
archists were miracles Of mercy com
pared to this man, angels OF peace by
patty OF idea, and yet these Haymarket
assassins Of few police are to be hung,
while this assassin of the nation rides
triumphantly through the nation, his
progress q triumph, his presence pub
lie rejoicing. Alas what has the ma
tion done that her glory should be thus
turned into shame. After this Macon
mockery no deeper depth of national
humiliation is possible.

and dependent soldiers. For this year
the actual reported outlay exceeds $685.
600; but IL we reckon the amounts paid
for the same purpose and never reported,
IL is fair TO say that not less
than half a million dollars have been
thus expended. During the sixteen
years from 1871 10 1886, the sum OF ST.
l73,6SS has been disbursed In CHI Arities;
and as IL is well known that One-half Is
not reported, there can be no exaggera-
tion In saying that twice that amount
has BEEN well spent. 1t may indeed be
doubted If this order did not give a
greater percentage OF its receipts II not
a larger total amount in charity than any
other organization, religious or secular.
There are no distributing agents In the
Order. All the money disbursed in char
ity Is given directly TO the needy recipi-
ents; the families Of deceased soldiers,
or those depending on soldiers who, be-
cause Of disease or wounds, are unable
TO provide for their families; and, In
some instances, to the soldiers them
selves"
AS to its charitable acts Ouside OF the
pale Of the Grand Army membership, to
ex-COnfede rate soldiers, to general dis
tress and In special cases OF necessity,
the order has not been found wanting,
as Gen. Fairchild shows In this same ar
ticle when he says:
when the people Of the Mississippi
Valley were suffering from yellow fever,
a considerable fund was sent to their re-
lief by the order. A respectable amount
of money was raised and contributed to
the Home for eX-COntederate soldiers at
Richmond, Va. Immediately after the
earthquake which desOlated Charleston,
the chief officer of the order
went TO that city, taking his sd
jutant general with him, and
while there issued circular calling on
all q. A. r. posts to subscribe TO fund
for the relief OF the sufferers. The time
between the issuing OF this circular and
the order TO stop taking more subsorip-
tons was SO short that many posts did
not have opportunity 10 call meeting,
and consequently the amount was not
nearly so large as 1t might have been.
But still S7.407 81 was sent. The news
paper press throughout the country
recognized this kindly act in terms OF
the highest appreciation"
The whole article is SO replete with
facts, Information that should be the
basis of a more thorough knowledge
and more competent criticism OF the
g. A. R., that the LIGHT would gladly
reproduce 1t entire did space permit.

FAIRCHILD AND c. A. r.

The American Magazine for Novem-
Der contains many excellent things,
not the least among them the brief but
pitby; article "Grsnd Army OF the Re-
public" from the pen of its old COM
msnder, Gen. Luoius Fairchild. So
much has been said OF late, kindly and
unkindly, concerning the Grand Army
that this contribution by one authorized
to speak concerning 1t is most timely.
In more ways than one the Grand
Army. may be said to be passing In
review, but it is not every martinez
who lie competent to conduct that review
or SPEAK intelligently concerning the
work or service of its veteran hosts.
The article In the American bristles
with facts and is itself brief resume OF
the history Of the order since Its Organi-
cation. The article will hardly pie Sc
the nemies OF the G.. A. R.; it will afford
intense satisfaction to It's friends. Con-
oerning the charities Of the order, Gen.
Fairchilds says, challenging the record
OF those charities and their extent as
compared with receipts:

Meeting The Billiards.

The time when we should prepare for
the winter ia at hand and naturally
everyone looks around to see how he can
expend his money to the best advantage,
and If he takes the trouble to enquire, he
soon finds that WOlfsOn's is the place,
because, in the first place, there Is q
large stock of all kinds Of winter goods
to select from, and in the second place,
quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has q large assortment
OF blankets, white. colored or California,
which are offered for sale at from Sl.l5
to $40 per pair, and are in every case
good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding of all kinds that you
will find cheap and comfortable during
the winter months. However, satisfy
yourself by calling at the store, and ex-
anime the goods. Then you will find as
others have done, that you get good bar
gains at Wolfson's.

THE train fiends now run the cars of
the track in order to rob them, finding
the experiment Of openly attacking
them a little dangerous. The last at

lations with France, gives new turn 10
European affairs. Russia and Germany

Bulgaria as the real bone of contention,
there would be very little possibility OF
any neutrality on the part OF the small
remnant of European states not already
allied to one or the other OF these great
divisions. What the result OF this COM

the northwestern states Of Europe will
be, time and circumstances alone can de-

Europe WAS becoming a vast military
field, divided into two rival encamp-
mpDts.
